Darwinian, your post was very interesting indeed:
''I know many physicists that believe that consciousness is distinct from the brain and that once a persons body dies the 'person' somehow carries on existing.
They are all atheist in that they don't believe in a god but the more they look into the strange world of quantum mechanics the more they see these counter intuitive possibilities.''
Do they base this on any research? And if this is possible, maybe there is this 'other mind' out there. You know who I mean........
Allan, I am an optimist and I'll always hope there is more than this too. I'm greedy....
